I know I’m not as skinny as most people you see on television but damn it, I’m not fat.
I’m just sick of people thinking anything that’s short of Kim Chiu is automatically fat.
Kim Chiu is gorgeous but her body is way different from mine. This still doesn’t make me fat.
If you’ll remember my tweets the other week, I told people to stop calling me chubby. Nothing against chubbiness but really, it’s upsetting what some people think “normal” is. Hindi lang straight line, chubby na kaagad?
For someone who does not regularly go to the gym (until 3 weeks ago), I think I have the best body anyone with my lazy lifestyle could ask for. Except for Marian Rivera’s body. That girl does not work out at all but damn she is FIIIINE.
My trainer at Fitness First told me to take a picture of myself in a bikini to keep track of my before and after progress. Here’s my untouched “before” picture. Yes, I could use a little toning but if you think this is fat – you need to start eating more.
I’m blogging about this because it’s unbelievable how some anonymous losers can be so cruel and I’m not going to pretend I’m Wonder Woman with insult-deflecting bracelets. I usually turn the other cheek but lately I’ve found myself looking in the mirror and thinking “I’m so fat” and this is really something I don’t want to be going through.
Lots of girls have Body Dysmorphic Disorder wherein the person keeps looking for and pointing out their physical defects and it’s not something to poke fun at. I for one don’t want to develop this disorder but I have to be honest, being called fat does NOT motivate me to go to the gym. It makes me want to eat Cheetos Jalapeño on the couch while wallowing in my fat depression.
So I’m calling out for everyone to rethink what is fat. Am I offending you with my cellulite? Not so much? THEN LET IT GO. I’ve been eating healthier, being more active and it’s not to “get skinny” it’s to get fit and if people are going to be mean and point out “chubby ka pa rin pohwz” I will say…
I think I was built for the 50s when women actually embraced their curves
Sexiness is subjective. Besides, my juicy behind isn’t even yours to hold so you don’t really have a say, do you?
When I ranted about being called fat on Twitter, some guy tweeted me saying the truth always hurts the most with a winking smiley. But the truth is, as John Mayer aptly put it, I am only hurting because I look so good. Here is a winking smiley right back at ya ;) Winner ang confidence level!
Stay sexy,
Saab
Saabscribe!!
This is the best post ever. More power to you Saab! You’re really an inspiring person!
Thank you, glad you liked it :)
yeah that’s what most people think..you’re not fat..if im a guy id pick a curvy girl over a skinny straight body.go curves!
Ako rin!! Sofia Vergara, hullooo!
It’s the filipino culture. Living in Jersey for 5 yrs, people commonly mistaken me for hispanic (it’s a compliment). I’m 5’2 120 lbs so what if I pass the 100 there’s more to love. The problem is definitely not you Saab! The mentality of most Pinoy is you have to look a certain way. that’s why i like living abroad. there so much diversity.
Thank you!
Must be hard having curves, huh? Not so hot on this side of the fence, when you dont have curves peole say you arent sexy or anorexic or look like a boy so really only kim kardashian gets the good deal. And how bout a winky face to whoever invented real women have curves ;) im real because I have a vag.
Gusto ko yang last sentence mo!
I am SO GLAD you wrote about this, I couldn’t agree with you more and am so happy to call you my “twinnie,” love you for staying strong! Nice thing about not being skinny, there’s more of us to love :)
Yes yes yes! :* Can’t wait to do a shoot with you! Very soon for my project :D Will contact you when it’s ready!!
kudos to this post!!! ako naman ang mantra ko, I will eat what want but then again pag full na ang stomach, stop na… I like your body… yan ang tinatawag sa tagalog na TAMA LANG…. don’t put yourself to stress because of these people who are so inggit with you…
;))
:D
wow thanks saab! i needed this, im in the “i feel fat” stage now. like you, “being called fat does NOT motivate me to go to the gym. It makes me want to eat Cheetos Jalapeño on the couch while wallowing in my fat depression.” now i want to eat cheetos jalapeno!
As long as it’s in moderation, go ahead!
mga makikitid lang ulo mga nagsasabi nyan. You don’t live to please them. Nakaka-low lang sila ng self-esteem. So, fuck those insecure haters! Stay ab-fab, Saab!
So true.
Haaay. kaya sobrang idol kita Saab Magalona. <3
Sana isang araw mammeet kita sa Cubao Expo. :/
ur not fat saab..ur sexy!anu bah gusto nila ung buto’t balat na lng?
tama lng kaya ung body moh!
Thank you, I know that! Kaya nga ayokong magpaloko sa mga siraulo na nagsasabi na mataba ako.
Hi Saab! Can I just say you’re not fat. You’re not chubby. You are sexy. :) I can definitely relate to you. Many people call me fat. Even my aunts, uncles and cousins call me fat. And I’m really getting sick of people calling me fat or chubby. I started working out very recently not to get thin but to be fit. There are many celebrities who are on the curvy side and very successful. :) Thank you for writing this and I hope many people get to read this. :) Thank you!
Thank you too and I hope your aunts, uncles, and cousins stop calling you fat!!
“Real women have curves.” Yay us! :)
Apir!
I’m almost teary-eyed after reading this. Something to affirm myself that even though I don’t have the ‘body built’ that of my siblings, I need not worry. It’s just that, at times being compared to them is so stressful that I end up having my self pity party via twitter or tumblr.
Again, thanks for the confidence you shared Ms. Saab. :)
Why not go boxing and punch away the stress?! It will make you feel better than ranting online, promise :)
No problem, thanks for leaving a comment :)
KABOG ANG MGA HATERS! I’ve always thought you’re sexy, Saab! I saw your rants on Twitter and I’m like, “Anoooo?! Ang ganda kaya ng katawan ni Saab!” Ang sexy mo na nga dun pa lang sa untouched bikini picture mo eh! And lastly, I love that you said “not to get SKINNY but to get FIT”. I agree with you completely! :)
Thank you :D
Without any kasipsipan, you are my definition of thin. I am fat and lately I realize that it’s okay to be fat basta you’re healthy. In being sexy talaga kailangan may confidence! Pag di ka confident sa sarili mo, wala. Ikaw na mismo maghahanap ng way to let yourself down. Sorryfor this Saab super love ko lang post mo. You’re such an inspiration to be kahit ano man ang weight mo :) Love yooou (Feeling close lang)
I wouldn’t exactly say thin hehe but I agree, confidence is key!:) Thank you and I’m happy I made you happy <3
Hindi ka mataba! Ang hot mo kaya!!!
Salamat!!
you are not fat, saab. crazy people and their fu*** standards.
I think you’re very sexy. Nakikita kasi nila sa runway mga sobrang skinny na models kaya sa tingin nila ganun yung sexy but of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I hope you don’t stress yourself too much because of them losers but still, exercise to be fit. ♥
The whole point of eating healthy as a rule is so that your taste buds develop a better, higher standard of taste, and you come away with an overall feeling of being empowered and in-charge of your life. In general. Now, when you do have those spurts of letting go, you can then indulge in those categorized as “worst foods (processed meats–including hotdogs and bacon, donuts, soda, cookies, french fries n chips)” Heck, have them all at the same time in one go! It’s in the eating it every single day that it becomes bad for you. I’m just happier that I still want to eat that stuff (EXCEPT for soda and bacon… NEVER!) because it means I’m ALIVE! Enjoy life sweets :)
Thanks ma!! I love you!!<3
Your not fab saab,. I’m a skinny girl and I hate it. I wonder why other woman prefer to be super skinny. Ung look na parang hndi nakakakain,. I wan’t a healthy body like yours.
I think you meant fat because I AM FAB!! Hahaha thank you!
hahaha! :)
yes! i love my curves too!
my boyfriend hates skinny girls.
he doesn’t like it when i loose weight.
go fab saab!
Wag mo pakawalan boyfriend mo :D Haha thanks!
nice blog saab! Yes! Kudos for us! we are not fat, we are sexy!! :)
:)
Thanks for this, Saab. :)) Reading your post made me feel better. :)
That makes me happy :)
Your post is already bookmark-ed. Very inspiring! Stay as you are. :)
Great! Thank you, Maan :)
One time a friend told me, “tumataba ka ata.”. Them after a few minutes another friend told me, “uy pumapayat ka na.” that’s when I realized that no matter what you do people will have different opinions about you. Kaya tama ka Saab. Kaya tumataas ang number ng mga anorexic. Girls need to embrace and love their bodies more and the media should be more careful in portraying beauty. Continue being an example to girls.
Thank you, Ivory! I agree, and friends should stop teasing friends about their weight. My gay friends always tease me about having big arms and I keep getting pikon :’( Hahaha
Girl, your body is perfect! Hindi sexy ang skinny!
you are nowhere near fat saab! personally, i don’t even think you need to go to the gym. seriously. the problem is with the people who think their opinions should matter to everyone around them. just continue to being the fabulous and inspiring you! :)
Thank you, Regina :D
Dear Saab,
You are not fat at all! At all! You are dang fine! And I have to be honest, K. Chui’s so dang skinny body doesn’t look healthy at all.
My take: Don’t let other people’s comments get into you. It’s so not worth it.
P.S. Don’t eat a lot of Cheetos–and microwaved popcorn..just don’t! ^_*
Hahaha I like the P.S. :)) Thank you :)
Sorry, just had to come to the defense of popcorn, HAHA!
The microwaved variety isn’t good for you, but air-popped popcorn is one of the healthiest snack foods around. Daming antioxidants. (Check out the link in my username for details.)
No, I don’t sell popcorn. I’m just obsessed with it and am so happy there’s research that shows it’s good for me! :P
Ooooh… So you have an air popper? Where can you get one here in the Philippines?
Yup, I just got one! I’m not based in the Phils., though… I got this one from Ebay (it’s pink!):
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/380448791126
It’s around PHP900 w/o shipping.
I saw similar popcorn poppers on Sulit, not sure where else to get them in Manila though! :)
http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/classifieds+directory/q/popcorn+maker
What’s wrong with people nowadays! are they blind to call you fat? if you’re fat, ano pa ako? balyena? nyhahaha chos! nakakainis kasi yun mga tao na makaokray sa ibang tao, they think they’re perfect, not! haha i feel for you! I’ve been experiencing this as always, i just tell myself, “okey lang, mas maganda pa din ako sa inyo!” then, go back to my couch and eat cheetos! haha don’t mind them, you’re hot! besides people with curves are sexy like you, me and manilyn monroe! :)
Woohoo Marilyn!! Sana nga yung mga malakas manglait mag send in ng full body and close up pics nila para ma-post ko sa blog ko and sabay sabay nating i-point out yung flaws nila. Extra Choss!
Aww. Sa haters mo, bawal inggitera! Sexy mo kaya! :)
Thank you!<3
Aww you’re not fat! I can’t believe you’re getting all these comments.. I know how it feels though,I get that crap all the time & it annoys the freak out me. People always have something to say, always. Screw the haters, stay pretty & sexy! ;)
Thank you, it’s bittersweet to know that so many can relate to my post. We really don’t deserve this! Thanks!
Hello,
I think your body is waaaay better than Kim’s. She doesn’t look healthy, she looks anorexic.
Ikaw nga yung peg ko when it comes to sexiness. Keep it up. Ignore the haters, they can only hurt you if you allow them. ;)
Thank you, Shiela!
Uhm, seriously? Someone called you fat?! Idiots! You look pretty good Saab! And I’m the same way, when someone tells me I’m fat, I don’t workout – I wallow with all the chocolate bars and cupcakes I could eat. Love this post though, good calling out the haters :)
Thanks, I hope they listen! Haha although, I doubt it :p
sexy mu kya ms.saab.. insecure lang cla ..
pwede kna nga mg-pose sa fhm .im sure all your “saabscribers will vote you for the fhm sexiest women.. hahahaha naks :) smile lang..
i’ll w8 for your cover :)
I don’t think I’ll ever pose for FHM haha so don’t hold your breath! But thanks!
hahahaha … ok
i’ll w8 nlang ur picture after ..
basta sexy kna sa untouched “before” picture mo period.. hahahaha
Gosh. This post hit me to the core. I was getting comments like “tumaba ka” “tumataba ka” and worst “mataba ka”. I’m not the type who gets pissed with those kind of evil comments but you can’t help but ask yourself too. People should care more about personality than how many pounds he/she weights :) This is such an inspiring post, Saab. Thank you and stay gorgeous! Yes, you’re gorgeous! ♥
weighs*
I hope you feel better now!!<3 Thank you :)
Self empowerment! Loving one’s body is the best!
I don’t have that sexy body but deym I’m loving it!
Nice blog post Saab! Sexy ka kaya! ;)
Very good!
Uuhh, yung before picture mo, yan na yung after ko eh. ;_; Hahaha!
Hahaha ano ba!
Who cares what other people say…. I saw this on twitter saying: “Okay lang maging mataba. Pagdating ng tag-gutom ikaw papayat pa lang. Sila mamamatay na.” this is a legit inspirational post! <3 thanks Saab for helping me love myself more. (:
im proud of you! :) i know how it feels to be called names and i hate how they rub it on my face. im like a stick but i eat like a pig. so im called anorexic, if not people ask if im bulimic. really? and funny how most of these people are in the plus size area. im not doing anything with my body. i am enjoying what God has given me and im enjoying the wonders of food. but people just loves to poke till u drop. im so glad u posted this.
and ur not what they think u are. u are awesome Saab! i actually don’t find u chubby at all. to hell with those people who call u that! chin up sexy! ;)
Thank you!:)
Your not fat. Actually, your body shape is what im aiming for. Not skinny, not fat. Its cool. You look healthy naman :) Thats important. But to love your body in whatever shape it is is much more important than what other people say..
Screw them XD
P.S. Your still beautiful kahit na ano pa ang weight mo :)
this post makes me want to get some Jalapeño Cheetos and wallow in fat depression. and by “wallow in fat depression”, i mean literal wallowing, like rolling myself about in an unsightly manner in a pile of Jalapeño Cheetos.. like a pig.. a filthy.. cheetos soiled pig..
May I join? Chawzzzz. DON’T!!
this one is a confidence booster. thanks saab. i hated it when my officemates called me fat so i tried losing weight but still they started calling me chubby. so again i tried losing weight. now coz they thought they were all skinny, they ate whatever they wanted and ended up bigger that me back then. i guess karma is such a bitch. i’m still not skinny but i tried embracing my figure. and for years of following you, i never actually thought you were fat. you are hot girl.
I love na na-karma yung officemates mo!! HAHAHA :)) Thank you again!
kung fat ka sa picture na yan siguro balyena na ako. seriously who called you fat? i would love to have your body! i wouldn’t lose more weight if i were you. people who call you fat have their own problems with their body. hayaan mo na. you are beautiful saab and i just started to read your blog this year and i am loving it. more power to you!
Thank you, Phoebe!! I also don’t believe I’m fat!! Nakakainis diba?! Twisted perception ng ibang tao talaga. Oh well!
You have such sexy hips!
Why thank you!
Kung fat ka ano pa ako? haha! ako aminado mataba ako.. madalas niloloko nila ako sa weight ko, kesyo mataba nga daw.. Minsan deadma nalang ako, sinasabi ko na “Kahit mataba ako maganda naman!” haha! pero minsan may times na down ka tapos hihiritan ka pa ng ganyang pang aasar. Ang sarap na lang kumain pag ganun. Sabi nga nila Beauty comes from all shapes and sizes and colors na rin. hehe
saab stay pretty! nainspire ako sa post mo na to. parang gusto ko mag jog later sa UP. haha!
xoxo
<3 :)
Yes! You’re sexier when you’re confident and if you drown yourself in food that only means you’re letting the mean girls win! Wag tayo pumayag! Jogging, yes!:)
ang sexy mo kaya Saab sobra , last time kitang nakita sa may casa nami para sa lakihan mo logo night, at ang sexy mo talaga at ang ganda pa.
Aww thank you!!
happiest girls are the prettiest girls!
nice one Saab! nadale mo :)
Oh I like that :) That’s why it’s important to keep smiling :)
There are people who labeled a person incorrectly because of their own hidden insecurities. Body image and standard of beauty are highly subjective. You are not fat. If they considered you one, what more will they say to me? I’m fat as a whale? Hehehe. Seriously, you have a body way better than most celebrities :)
Thanks, I’m trying to live a more active lifestyle!
Looking at your “before” picture, you are totally NOT fat! Feel ko nga sexy ka eh, curves and all! Bayaan na lang natin sila, wala silang magawa sa buhay nila kundi mang-down ng ibang tao.
Hi Saab! YOU ARE SEXY!! :) anyway, i’ve been called chubby then since i was in grade school. I was sick and tired of it. Last year, i decided to really lose some weight. I’m 56kg, and now i’m 49kg. The reaction was note really pleasing either. They are all worried because payat na payat na dw ako.. B******** right? ahehehe.. Anyway, do whatever makes u happy Saab! Kudos! :*
I hope you didn’t starve yourself or anything!!! As long as your diet is no cause for concern, kebs mo na ang nay-sayers!
Oh I’m sorry i mean “i was 56kg” napaka wrong grammar naman nun. Ahahah! anyway, i didn’t starve myself naman.. Medyo lang. Teehee^^ Oo nga eh, i dont give a f*** ano man sabihin nila. Maintain ko na to. Cheers Saab! Goodluck to your journey forthe future awesome body! :D
My body’s already awesome as is naman! Hahaha
I just wanna say: damn you’re FIIIINE, girl! If that’s the BEFORE photo, what will your body be after getting toned up? I’m all about curves. I think girls with curves are more sexy. I’m fattening myself up just so I could get the curves I desire. So whenever you hear accusations of being fat, just dare them to post a photo of themselves in a bikini. That would shut them up. There’s a good chance that they’re either ugly or fat. #justsayin
Hahhaa thanks!
Thanks for this Saab!! Malaki ang naitulong ng blog mo na ito sa akin.. You lift up my self confidence lalo n para sa body figure ko.. Sabi nga nila db “masarap ang malaman” hehehe.. Again more power to you and keep it up!!
More to hug!
Go Saab. Go curves! =))
OMG! I can so relate! Well, honestly you are not fat coz if you are then you’re not gonna look so good in a bikini! I can really relate because I’ve been receiving those comments also, na mataba na ako and all. Pero hello, I checked my BMI regularly and i’m pretty normal, thank God. :) I can really feel you Saab, coz even if I know that I’m not fat, I am not obese etc., I still feel conscious and sometimes I lose my confidence. :( You know that moment na kahit alam mo kung anong tama, na kahit alam mo kung anong dapat gawin at isipin pero hindi mo parin mapigilan magkaroon negative feelings and all, alam mo yun. I think ganito lang yan eh, na kaya nasasabi ng ibang tao na “ui tumaba ka” kasi di na kagaya ng dati yung katawan natin. I can say, I’m slimmer 3 years ago, pero dahil sa changed lifestyle, I gained weight, but it doesn’t mean na mataba na ako, tayo! Isipin nalang natin na “tumaba” tayo compared sa body natin years ago at hindi dahil hindi tayo kasing-payat ni Kim Chiu. :D But as long as we know we are healthy, (and good for you, coz you still look good in a bikini, dyahe na ako eh! :D) and that we are not over weight then to hell with all those nega-comments! Hehehe Keep it up Saab! I always like your guts and your being real! :)
Even when I was heavier before, I was never out of the average body weight for my height and age that’s why it’s sad that people are so critical of a little flab. Get over it!!! Haha! Good luck to you :)
This is by far the best post for me! I’ve been reading your blog for awhile now and this post sorta freaks me out ’cause if that’s fat’ what more am I?! I’m a curvy 18 y/o and starting to think about losing weight so I can make good use of my time since I had to make a pause on my studies and I don’t feel comfortable in my body anymore. You really Inspired me that I don’t have to stick thin to feel beautiful! :) I’m gonna lose weight for me and only for me, I promise to embrace my curves! i really love your style and it’s sooo amazing for me to see that you are so real and true to your readers! Thanks for being an AWESOME inspiration. :) Stay Fab and Blessed saab! :*
Glad I got the message across!! Lurve your curve! (WALEY haha)
you’re not fat!infact you’re just perfect fit.I’m fat!
I really do like you so much.I even have you’re favorite lipstick on MAC.
Aww, you mean Rebel? :)
epal lang, but I also got Rebel because of you! :>
Yay!!
and everyone was asking what happened to my trademark Russian Red lips. well… ikaw kasi! :p
Youre not fat! Deym! I would give everything to have your body!! Keep the attitude saab!
I have just to say this –> This post is an inspiration especially for others, like me, who happens to experience the same kind of bullying on a daily basis.
Thank you and stay sexy!!
Saab we got your back!
Here’s some Laci Green for ya! It’s one of her latest videos called ‘Fat Shame’
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XhTA4xOxCc&feature=plcp
Thanks!:)
Hay. I wish my dad can see this. You see, I’m the only “healthy” one in our my family. My sisters have that “i-eat-a-lot-but-my-belly-is-still-thin” body. I’ve been working out. But I really hate it whenever my dad will just say, “Ang taba mo!” – just because my tummy explodes whenever I eat more-or-less. You guys have no idea how it hurts coming from your own father. Its degrading.
Kudos to this blog, Saab. Made me happy that we have the same sentiments.
That’s so sad. Maybe you should let him know how you feel. Sumbong mo sa mom mo hehe good luck with that, dear! It’s all about communication!:*
Gosh i hate it when people say that to me.. :( i can relate to this! i really appreciate your blog saab :)
<3<3<3 Here's a hug! >:D<
stay away from the ones who destroy you.. sila siguro ang mataba. :) people always say ‘ang taba mo ano nangyare?’ I just answered, ‘marami kasi akong pambili ng Food. Ikaw ba? :)
Hahaha that’s what I said in high school :))
I can totally relate to this post! I used to be fat, then skinny, now I’m “in between”, and the cycle goes on. I only find it irritating when I’m fat, & they’re going to say: “magpapayat ka nga, ang taba mo na.” Then when I’m thin already, some would say: “mas bagay kang chubby.” nakakapikon talaga. That’s why when they tease me about my body, I just ignore it. Well, ung sa height, maliit talaga ako (5’2″), so ok lang kasi totoo naman. hehe. :D
keep blogging, Miss Saab! thank you for this post. :)
Hanubeh? You’re not fat nor chubby! Sexy mo nga eh! I love your body shape, curves and abs! Inggit ako! Ako kaya, hindi proportion katawan ko… I feel that I need to work on my middle body part para naman magkashape yung waist ko… tska i want to have a flat tummy… ignore them, Saab dear! Inggit lang cla! ^__~
curves are way lot sexier than protruding bones :) go Saab!
i’m fat now because i just gave birth. i wasn’t before. 25″ waist line. my guy friends keep telling me to slim down para daw “hot momma.” that got me down honestly! sana hindi ko nalang sila ininvite sa binyag ng anak ko! hmp! but then i realized that i don’t want to lose weight because they said so. and besides my boyfriend has no problem with my curves, why should they? i’m enjoying my curves!
wag kang papaapi, Saab! Go lang ng go! Inggit talaga sila. The many years that I have been following your blogs, I have never once seen a pic of you in a bad state. everything picture perfect!
love you, deary! more power.
Grabe! Nakarelate ako ng bonggang bongga ate Saab! Porkit ba malaki yung arms hindi na sexy?! Lagi nila akong inaasar na mataba tapos akala nila ok lang.. Pero sayo, ANG HOT MO KAYA!!!! Heleeeer! Kung ang sexy sakanila yung buto’t bata, ano ang mataba! Kainis! Pero kebs lang ate Saab! SEXY TAYO! :)
*buto’t balat
I love this article! You’re not FAT
You’re body is the definition of sexy. :)
You are hot and attractive. Do not let people tell you otherwise.
Omg!!! Your body is perfect! You have the curves to die for! Inggit lang sila. :P
I admire you, Ms. Saab! I hate the people calling you fat! Sometimes, people also call me fat even though I’m well-proportioned and over the time, I’ve gained the confidence to tell them I don’t care what they think at inggit lang sila kasi may curves ako! haha >:)
As a celebrity, people, especially girls, look up to you and when people start calling you fat, those girls who have the same body type as you do will start doubting themselves and refer to themselves as “fat” too. If for other people you are considered chubby or fat, then ang isipin ng mga fans mo or other girls ay “paano pa kami?”. And sa totoo lang, walang matutulong yun. It’s not only you their affecting kaya magtigil na sila! The media and these people instill in the minds of young women that being stick thin without any ounce of fat is sexy but then they don’t realize that this stereotyping lowers the self-esteem of the Filipino women, who are usually born with curves. Instead of focusing on their academics or their growth as professionals, women just focus on adjusting and molding their bodies to what the media wants them to look like. Kaya ang laking career ng cosmetic industry dito sa Pilipinas eh! I just hope that someday these people will realize that some just happen to be a little heavier, or more muscular, or with bigger bones than others because of their genes and that is perfectly fine. ‘Pag healthy, sexy! ;)
Very true! Let’s stand up for ourselves!:)
Well said, Saab! People nowadays label “fat” as someone who is not as skinny as VS Angels. I blame the media because they market beautiful as someone who either does not eat or they rather photoshop the actresses who are not skinny enough to pass their standards and that is very disappointing! For me, we should just embrace our skin, be confident in our own ways, and eat our life away! Food should be our best friend but of course, we shouldn’t overdo it. Cheer up, Saab! At least you know that you are a healthy person. :)
<3 Thanks!
Damn!dat FAT w0rd!of course ur nt!those people were jst insecure,mean or pure evil. . .dat they have to say sumthng about u dat ur n0t guilty of!i thnk ur 1 of d few people dat is w0rthy & fits perfctly on the definiti0n of being sexy. . .being qouted/labelled as fat/chubby is one of d many ways of being a victim of bullies. . .h0pe a l0t of people will read and share ur artcle. . .coz ur article is such an ego/c0nfident booster. . .i thnk u should also share this(esp ur pic) to people who labelled u fat/chubby so that they will start to check their own figure. . .and realize the true meaning of being sexy. . .
PS
Confidence Sexy=SAAB
Two thumbs up for you, Saab! :)
Also, Kim Chiu does not look sexy at all. Thought she kinda looked more on the malnourished side, and you, on the other hand, look healthy.
Inggitera lang yang mga yan! Chos!
More power! :)

THANK YOU.
I’m glad someone’s stepping up for all us girls. Because really, what is the average Filipino woman body size? Definitely not stick straight. All these magazines and TV shows that promote and embrace the so-called “ideal body” is only making things worst for impressionable teens.
MORE POWER >>>> GIRL POWER.
I don’t know what the average Filipino woman body size is, I just know most Filipinas are petite talaga.
hi saab
I completely agree with u. 3 weeks ago someone blurted out in my face that she does want to get fit but not like mine im more fat dw for my height and yes it did offend me that i started depriving myself 2 meals in a day. And whenever i see in a mirror i always wonder if im really fat..i know i am not i am just maybe doesnt have curves in any area but i am not fat im just not sexy. Sometimes nasty comments from others makes u feel less than them. Hands down to your post.thank u so much.
Everyone can be sexy! Yung girl na yun pangit ang ugali kaya di siya sexy!!
Hi ate saab, I really like this post. It inspires me especially now that I am on this ‘reset diet’ where in I could just eat veggies and fruits for 5 days. I am near to cheating myself and eat true meal until I read your blog post. I should strive very hard to get back my 100lbs body 3 years ago. Now I am nearly 140lbs and it makes me feel so heavy, less pretty and unwanted. Unlike before where in people notice me.
Haters gonna hate hehe just don’t mind them because they don’t know you and they just don’t see the good things on other people. Kulang sa pansin sila hehe.
Thanks for sharing this ate and would like to tell you that you are sexy and booty-ful inside and out ;) stay sexy! :)
love, your fan van <3
Thank you, Van :)
Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can wear.. This is your best post ever!! You just empowered a lot of healthy peepz with this post! Thank you..
Hi Saab, YOU’RE NOT FAT! YOU’RE SOOO DAMN SEXY!!!
I hope they’d stop teasing you, it irritates me! grrrr! I’m sooo pissed to these nasty people for treating you like these. If you’re fat, how much more ako, I’m over 140lbs. and overweight accdg. to bmi and i’m working on it bit by bit but not too skinny or bulimic just enough to have a healthy and strong body just like thou. Hayyy, may mga jerks talaga who would make us feel bad. Don’t listen to them! Listen to us who loves you! :-D
Thank you :)
DITTO!! My boyfriend would always say, “Rav, ang taba mo! Mag diet ka nga!” all the time. My boyfriend would say that to keep me motivated before and yes it did! I started going to Fitness first and even become a vegetarian but whenever my bf says that it makes me feel insecure. My friends would say my body is fine now compare when we were in high school because I’m really chubby way back. I feel better now. I’m not super skinny but atleast I know I’m healthy :)
Punch your boyfriend for me :p Chos!
And by the way Ate Saab, you are not fat! Screw them! We just happen to be healthy! <3
Not fat at all Ms. Saab.. My grandma. told me.. mas maganda ang may laman ng konti… because mas maganda at sexy.. that’s why i love your body… :)
OMG! I can’t believe those stupids call you fat. You’re stunningly sexy!! Grabe. A chubby girl here. I say, “Kapag taggutom, ako papayat pa lang, kayo mamamatay na!” LOL :DD
Love you Saab! <3
awww you inspire me to post something like this in my blog~! i like it. i wanted to lose weight as i loook plum in the photo pwessss! mag post din ako ng ganitong post. okay lang ba>? now, im confident already!
Of course!:)
Amen to this! Whoever says that you’re fat apparently needs glasses. SAAB IS SEXY & HEALTHY!!!! Nowhere near fat. Thank you for the inspiration. :) xx
xxxxxx <3
fat? saan banda? ate saab, you shouldn’t get affected by them calling you fat, chubby or kung ano pa man. and though you are an artista, still you are not obligated, responsible, forced (pare-pareho lang naman ata yun hehe) to please everyone.
i’ve been trying to gain weight for the last 5 years dahil tinatawag nila naman akong payatot, tingting, poste, skeleton key at kung ano ano pa na macocompare sa isang thin straight line but then i realized, why the hell am i caring about what others say e obvious naman na mga inggit lang sila (waw :D).
this is a very empowering post ate saab not only for the girls, but i also hope some insecure boys would read this too.
you just convinced us more to be comfortable on our own skin. thank you! :)
No, you’re not fat, Saab. You’re juuuuust right.
Guys don’t really want skinny girls! I used to envy skinny girls’ skinny legs and always tell my boyfriend whenever I see a skinny girl “Uy oh, gusto ko ng legs niya”. That was until my boyfriend said mine (like yours) were perfect. He said “Ayaw ko nga sa skinny, parang mababali yung katawan. Konting dapa lang mapuputol na mga buto. Parang ang lampa” Haha. :)
We have curves, butt and boobies to boot! :) Skinny is not sexy, health is!
Very well said! And I agree with, “Sexiness is subjective”. Whenever I get remarks about me being “fat”, I just say, “So? Mas sexy naman ako sayo!”. Pang-asar lang. :)
Cheers to a fit and healthier you! :)
maybe the people that says that ur chubby dont know you at all. im a reader for a long time now and i must say achieve na talaga ung body mo! i mean ur my peg for life na nga sa pagpapayat.
nakakaupset naman talaga pag sasabihan ka ng chubby or ang taba mo after all the hard work you’ve done. i just want to share my story lang :D i had classes last summer so i used that opportunity para magdiet. i mean kase busy sa school so every lunch and dinner i refused to eat. as in breakfast lang kinakain ko nung april and may. i dont know im becoming anorexic or something na ata pero di naman siguro.. feeling ko naman pumapayat ako kase ung mga shirts and pants ko na pumuputok na, nagkakasya na ulet. so after my summer class i went home from dorm then lahat ng tao na nakakita saken, ang sinabe lang naman nila “bat ang taba mo?!”, “ang taba taba mo naman!” parang ako, WTF?! seriously after i starved myself to death sasabihan nyo lang ng mataba! after that i started eating 3x a day again and even had merienda pa. hahahahaha ;) but after reading this post…… you inspired me to have a healthy diet na and i will not listen to other people will say regarding my weight. ISA PANG SABE NILA SAKEN NA MATABA AKO, SASAGUTIN KO NA SILA NG “AM I OFFENDING YOU WITH MY CELLULITE?! ”
thanks ate saab! ur the best! <3
My respect for you just soared way higher. Thank you for this, Saab. Sobrang na-inspire ako.
Best blog post ever!!! <3 Thank you for this post, you don't know how much this means to me. Sobrang nakakarelate ako kasi i'm not skinny like most people are and most of the time naiinsecure talaga ako sa body ko so nagdadiet ko tapos parang wala pa ring epekto. Don't listen to those people who are telling you that you're fat coz you're really not! Ganyan lang talaga yung body mo, hindi yung skinny type. You're sexy nga eh! Embrace those curves :)
sabi nga ni mareng Khloe Kardashian, "my weight doesn't define who i am" <3
“I just think society’s way too concerned with other people’s idea of what’s pretty.” – Max, 2 Broke Girls
If you aren’t watching 2 Broke Girls, it would really help your self-esteem. Plus it’s really funny (at least for me and few friends, I guess). Anyhoo, don’t let other people’s idea of “standard body size” get to you or even piss you off. You’re stunning, exactly as you are. (no echos)
P.S. Your blog is really more worth-reading than the daily paper. Hahaha!
xx
Saab kung mataba ka ano na lang ang tawag sa akin?haha!But seriously you are not fat neither chubby. Ang sexy mo kaya! Even celebrities like you who came from a family of beautiful people still get those bashing. Di lalo na yung ordinaryong tao like me, dahil ako lagi akong chinachaka ng mga kakilala kong iba dahil sa pagbblog ko. I love this post because you empower women to love themselves for who they are.
Wow, this post is brilliant. To be honest, a lot of people are blinded by society’s form of life, like how its not acceptable to be normal sized anymore. Seriously Saab, your figure is perfect and I’m not even exaggerating! Don’t let other people’s comments get into you! x
THIS IS WHY I LOVE SAAB MAGALONA!!!! I am on the verge of being depressed because of my body, but hey! This post made my day :)
P.S. I actually think that your body is perfect! Sobrang goal ko to be fit and pretty like you!<3
YOU ARE NOT FAT! Having a straight body, like Kim Chui’s, doesnt make you sexy nor hot, it makes you look like your anorexic or malnourished.
Inggit lng ung mga haters mo kasi may curve ka and you look sexy&fit.:)
hi saab! you are not fat neither chubby! you have a gorgeous body! come on! just don’t mind those insecure people who keeps on telling you that you are chubby..inggit lng sila at mga losers..in fact i admire the way you carry yourself and your cute face, flawless skin and nice fashion sense!..I enjoy reading you blogs! God bless you always!
Wow! This is the reason why I really follow your blog (aside from giveaways :p). It’s how you deliver things. Very well said Ms. Saab. I’m not fat! wala lang abs.. :))
hi saab,
nkaka relate ako s blog mo na to.. i used to be so skinny when i was in college my mom would say “mas sexy ang may laman kaysa buto-buto” ngayon nag gain ako ng weight, pag nkikita ko ung mga high school friends ko sinasabihan ako ng tabachoy/chubby i curse a lot pag naririnig ko yang words n yan.. eheheh. But i believe im fine 55kg for a height of 5’5. I actually RT ur tweet when i saw it. KEBS s mga insekyorang palaka. hahaha
Hi Saab!
Thanks for this post, Actually I have been glued to my office computer monitor for weeks now, because I can’t get enough of how fun reading your blog is. Anyway, there are more people who think that you are indeed sexy rather than those who think otherwise. Though I am a few years older than you, I can’t help but admire how you handle things in your life with confidence. You know who you are and you definitely know what you want. I am living vicariously through you. The society today has labeled me fat for so long, somehow I just learned to not care whether my hair is messy or if I am full-figured. Keep inspiring people Saab, you truly are one of the great Master Rapper’s children, you were born to inspire people like your papa. Plus, you’ve got a HOT and super supportive mom! :)
Aww thank you so much for this!! I’m feeling a little blue today, but you cheered me up :)
I’m glad you’re confident about your body. It must be hard because you’re in an industry prone to receiving insensitive comments and unsolicited advice. Keep it up and I hope you will not give in to the pressure that will make you take dangerous steps just to meet a supposedly society standard about beauty. Keep inspiring other people, especially the youth, with your posts :)
I’ve been reading your blog for a really long time (incugirl days, girl! haha) but I’m always too shy to comment. I just want to say you’re really inspiring. :) Actually, peg nga kita. I want my after photo to look like your before photo! Hehe. I feel more empowered because of this post. Thank you, Saab! <3
i think i know why they think you’re chubby. have you tried looking at some of your close up pictures? you’ve got chubby cheeks on some of them. but i think it’s not at all bad. i therefore conclude, do not judge a person’s sexiness through her cheeks. ‘coz saab, you’re sexy! i even envy you in your bikinis! no flabs, just curves! i guess, you just have to keep turning your other CHEEK from all those losers. ;) stay fab!
Hello Saab! Someone told you that?! :O My friend told me that you are not fat. :) Up for this post! :) Have a great weekend!
Whoever thinks you’re fat’s just crazy! Kim Chui looks anorexic!
Holy shissus! You are SOOOOO NOT fat. What is wrong with these people? O.o Isang tingin lang sa “before” bikini pic mo and it is FIIIIIIIIINE *matching bushy eyebrow wiggling
More power to you Ms Saab and your bikini bod! ;)
I think girls are in their sexiest when they exude confidence. So that make you really sexy in my eyes! ;)) You’re fine as you are. Thanks for this post. I have that in mind for so long. :))
I think kaya ka nagmumukhang chubby/mataba is because of your face kasi chubby cheeks ka or malaki ang mukha. But yes, you are not fat/
Well.. Nakikitingin lang kayo, so you’re welcome sa malaki kong mukha. Chos.
kung ayaw mo ng convention, huwag kang magalit na sinasabihan ka ng mataba kasi ikaw mismo pinaparamdam mong pangit maging mataba. mataba?! eh ano ngayon?!
Paano ko pinaramdam yun?
FAT! FAT! FAT! >:p
Great feedback! Thanks!
you are so fabulous and i love you for what you are… You inspire me a lot.. Keep it up beautiful and sexy girl.. YOU ARE AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS!!!!! <3
Thanks :)
Way to go, Saab! Thanks for posting this!
At the end of the day, it’s about taking responsibility for our own actions. I wasn’t born with a Kim Chiu-ish body so it’s my responsibility to work for a healthier body.
Likewise, it’s our responsibility as human beings born with brains not to make disparaging comments (even as jokes or as sarcasm) to people who have weight issues. It’s my weight, therefore I should know, right? It’s not your job to be my weight tracker. But it IS your job to be a good person. If you still think that “Hey, I talk shit about other people’s weight ’cause I’m being real,” then go back to being a teenager.
When you posted that Deal Breakers entry, the first thing that I thought as my deal breaker would be a guy who would joke, be sarcastic, be insensitive about my weight. :)
“Being called fat does NOT motivate me to go to the gym. It makes me want to eat Cheetos Jalapeño on the couch while wallowing in my fat depression.” Same Hereeee! :( thanks for the inspiring post :) Viva to la curves!
Cheers to sexy blogging Saab. xx
Seriously? People need to stop being stupid. Sorry, but I wrote a blog post about this a few weeks ago called “The evil of poor body image mixed with vanity”. I even emphasized my point by posting a picture of Sophia Bush wearing a shirt that says “Zero is not a size” because, honestly, people can be very blind-sided when it comes to what is “sexy” and what is “fat”. Sino ba ang nagdidikta kung ano ang “sexy”? Yung magazine covers? Yung slimming pills? Yung posters ng mga naka-bikini sa kung saan-saan? Uhm, no. Being sexy is being comfortable about how you look, being able to flaunt your assets… and it’s not all about the physical appearance, either. And you’re definitely right about exercising to get fit, not to get skinny. I’d rather be healthy and curvy, than be skinny and malnourished any day. Kudos to you, Saab! :)
BTW, you’re sexy :) <3
High five!
I just had to comment on this post.
I have a tita who I see maybe once or twice a year, usually during Christmas. Every single time without fail, the first thing she’ll say to me is – “Ang taba-taba mo. Bakit ang taba-taba mo?” Really? After not seeing your niece for a while, that’s the first thing you wanna say to me? I am 5’2″ and I weigh 115lbs. I am in no way considered skinny, but I honestly don’t think I’m fat either. I wish I could care less, but this kind of stupid senseless comment ruins my mood.
Sometimes, I think, I’d like to retort – “Ang tanda-tanda mo. Bakit ang tanda-tanda mo?” Hay naku. Respect for elders.
Yes yes yes I also have relatives like that. Kainis pa because they’re overweight and nagcocomment pa sila ng ganon :/
I absolutely think you are GOR-GE-OUS!!! I’ve been seeing you on screen for sometime and saw you in person for the first time during Clara’s goody launch :D Gosh I can’t believe a person would have the guts to tell you that! Oh well they’re lame and losers and the like HAHAHAHAHA You are an inspiration to many! Stay beautiful and sexy!
Thank you so much! I wish you said hello at the Goody launch!:)
This is a nice post. I think you have a rockin’ bod. And that’s coming from a person who’s born skinny.
Thank you! I hope people don’t call you names for being thin either!
Bones are for the dog, meat is for the man.
Haha good one!
relate much TT .. . kakainis tologo yang mga taong gnyan noh!. we just have bubbly faces but with sexy body..
Hi Saab! This is my first time to read a post from your blog! I was skinny, they called me Olive Oil when I was elementary ’til college and then at 22 years old I got pregnant so I am not confident right now with my body. It seems like I call my body now as a “Mom body”. Sometimes I stress out myself ’cause I wanna go to gym but I don’t have money for it. Sometimes I watch videos on Youtube for some simple exercises but I keep myself eating not like others who doesn’t eat at all ’cause they want to be skinny as bones. Thank you for this post ’cause I love curves too like Beyonce’s and Angel Locsin’s!
Skinny isn’t sexy!
mamibells.blogspot.com
Now you’re a bootylicious mama and your baby will have more to hug :) Keep exercising to stay fit para you’re healthy for your child!
I SECOND DEMOTION! You are not fat, you’re perfect as you are Saab :)
In our country, sorry to say this but most people are so judgmental. They tend to mind other people’s business and then comment as if they know you. It’s so different here (UK) or in Europe where people don’t care if you strip naked and you’re a size 20! Dapat siguro maging ganito na rin mag-isip ang mga tao sa atin.
Such an inspiring entry! You’re an inspiration to everyone :)
I have to agree with what everyone else is saying here… you’re NOT fat! You look like you’re at a good weight. Congratulations on going to the gym regularly to get more fit and toned, though! :)
The problem I see tho is a lot of people in the Phils. are being obsessed with being SKINNY, and not necessarily being HEALTHY. I know so many people who are “skinny fat” and they only exercise and eat healthy to lose weight, not to get a healthy lifestyle. So when you get girls who are healthier (and perhaps not as skinny as those skinny fat girls) some people automatically assume those girls are fat. It’s such a distorted point of view.
Hi Saab,
My gosh, what happen to the people around? They are blinded by too much negativity. For me & my hubby you are very sexy & so beautiful. Your intelligence & the way you made this blog made you sexy inside & out. So those losers & insensitive person must go to HELL. We love you the way you are.
Thank you to you and your hubby :)
Whenever someone says,”Uy, ang taba mo ngayon,ah!” or “tumataba ka” , I’ll always reply with, “Oo, nagpapataba talaga ko, para may ipapayat”.When they say, “Ang payat mo na..nagmumuka ka ng adik”, I’d say, “Talaga lng naman,para may mas itataba pa ko.”haha!
“The perfect line is a curve”~Infiniti
Yung mga yun may masabi lang, may ma-comment lang, may ma-small talk lang. Wala nang ibang topic na maisip puro judging of appearance kaagad. It’s always the boring people who are like that.
hi late reply na ito Saab but i really want to place my support on you on this one! To hell with people’s opinion wala tatalo sa self confidence and thats basically what makes someone beautiful bukod sa character. You got both! so girl reply ka na lang ng “Quebz” or wapakels if next time you got those comments heheh. more character kana ngayon girl kasi ur so honest and people shud think tlga na those little comments gets into us minsan kasi tao lang tayo no. but again quebz ur character is brave and sexy!
Hahahaha QUEBZ!! Thanks for this :)
Hey Saab, saw you last Saturday night at BBW. You’re not fat! I texted my male friends pa nga na you were there and they kept on telling me to tell you na you’re not fat. haha. But I didn’t, so dito nalang! You are not fat! :)
cheers to the hate!
Hahahaha!! Thank you so much this made me laugh!! Thank you <3
You def are not fat!! I’d give up everything to have a body like yours. Way to go ate Saab! I am a huge fan!!! <3_<3
I’m glad someone posted something like this. Good job, Saab!!! :)
Hi Saab,
First time to comment and I’m not sure if you’re gonna read this as it has been a few days since you posted your entry.
Anyway, I don’t think I still need to reaffirm what everyone is saying, but for arguments sake — you’re not fat, if at all. I’m a guy and I think you are just right. With right curves here and there. ;)
However, there may be something wrong with how you wrote this. I know this is your blog and I have no say as to how you write things, but I wish you could be a little sensitive with people who are chubby, err, fat.
I know it’s not your intention to put them in a bad light, and you are just highlighting the fact that people shouldn’t call you fat because you are not — but really, what’s wrong with being chubby? People have different body types, metabolism, structure, genetics etc. Some have thyroid problems preventing them to lose weight or some because they have given birth, etc.. My point is, we should help empower the fat people instead of disassociating ourselves with them because sometimes, it’s not their choice they are like that. :)
Hi Jan!
I’m not saying there’s something wrong with being chubby I’m just saying I don’t think I am chubby :) It’s like if people started saying I’m tall when I’m not tall. And like I said, it’s all about confidence. By means of empowerment, I choose not to call them “the fat people” instead I choose to say hey no name-calling but If you’re not living a healthy lifestyle, maybe you should drop the bag of cheetos. Same goes for girls who are naturally skinny. Most of them don’t have a choice and I say as long as you’re eating right, sexiness can be achieved!:)
Also, I don’t like it when people say “Uy, ang taba mo na. Anyare?” It’s used in a derogatory way and that’s what I don’t appreciate.
Thanks for your comment :)
Err… you’re sexier than Kim Chiu, to be honest. I choose to look healthy, despite the fact that I’m on a diet. ((: I’m really pressured to slim down because me momma calls me “fat,” but I don’t feel insulted.
I really feel so relieved as you post this one. If this post talks about err… the body, I’m really conscious about skin tone. :( Hmm… any tips? :D
Just try to achieve even skin tone no matter what color you are!:) Check this out: http://beauty.about.com/od/makeuptrickstips/qt/evenskin.htm
Thanks! (:
I’m really glad you posted something like this. I used to be concerned about my curves, but after a long time of insecurity, I’ve finally learned to embrace my body. You’re such an inspiration.
What sucks about a situation like this is because you get a tremendous amount of support but there is also reverse discrimination. I think that the saying “real women have curves” kind of picks on the naturally skinny. So does that mean I’m not a woman now? Because as much as I’d love to have curves, my body just doesn’t work that way. I’m not saying that curves should not be celebrated because I think curves are great! But people should stop criticizing anybody for their body type, may they be curvy, skinny, athletic, whatever because ANY HEALTHY BODY IS A BEAUTIFUL ONE. I just had to put that out there because I’m seeing too much posts (not yours) about how much “skinny women suck” and it kind of hurts sometimes. :(
And yes, I think they’ve said it enough, you are not fat. You have a lovely figure. :)
Cheers!
Skinny people don’t suck! I know so many sexy skinny women! Some women eat so much but they’re just naturally skinny. It’s just the same as people who eat a healthy diet but are just really curvy. It’s not your fault and it’s not un-sexy. It’s still about confidence and as long as you’re not starving yourself because there are naturally skinny women and then there are tuyot skinny women who obviously don’t eat :(
Thanks for your comment!
It’s so big of you to voice out something like that. You just know wise people from their open-mindedness. And I’ve seen you in person, you are so DAMN hot and beautiful :)
Thank you Chi!
Sweetheart, I saw you the other Saturday at High Street and you’re not fat. You’re not even chubby. If you’re chubby then ako na ang may baby killer whale na figure. Your’s just right. Healthy (not scrawny) and may life ang body. I don’t like girls na super skinny parang natuyo na. I hope my daughter will not have them as pegs pagnag-dalaga na siya.
And don’t mind those people. You are beautiful =)
Thank you! By the way I get kilig when moms comment here <3 :)
Way to go. :) I have the same issue, tired of hearing that i am fat. I am not skinny but I think i am not fat. But because of them, i am thinking otherwise.
your not fat at all, fashion magazines will try to make you feel ugly.
Curves are attractive, I have lots of curves cause I am extra sexy! haha pataasan lang ng confidence level yan! Basta ako ate Saab, aim ko maging kasing sexy mo. :)
I’ve been dieting for nine years, pero mas masarap kumain. hehe!
I don’t get it. We have the same body but they don’t call me fat. They call me “Too Thin”. I guess it will always gonna be subjective. Saab, you’re not fat, really. & you’re not chubby. You’re sexy! <3
Of course you’re nowhere near fat! How much do you weigh? How tall are you? I’m sure you’re more sexy in person.
Hi Saab!
What I like most here is that you’re able to reply on almost all of the comments. :) Now, that’s being very appreciative of your readers aside from being sexy! I am an avid reader of your blog and I also don’t get it why you keep on making your arms look thinner and undergoing diet plans when in fact, you’re simply sexy. Love the natural curve of your hips though. :)
More power! :D
Thank you Lyka :)
Thank you for posting this one, Saab! I feel so much better after reading it! :)
All I can say about this post is…… You are not fat! Good job Saab!
Hi Saab! I’m a frequent reader and I’m so sad that only got the chance to read your blog etong nasa Canada na ko with my fam. So, the chance of getting to meet you is slimmer. Anyhoo, your bod is what I would call as sakto lang. Hindi ko lang alam, pero it’s the way most Filipinos think. I don’t like it when they greet with something awkward like, “Oh, parang tumataba ka ata?” Like, I’m not sure if I should take it as a compliment or as insult. Parang when they see you, they look for flaws rather than kumustahin ka. I’ve hung out with a lot of other people, trust me, your body size doesn’t matter. It all comes down to your personality. This comment is coming from a healthy size 18 girl, and I feel sexy. Love your own, ‘ika nga! I love reading your blog. It’s like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’ll get. :)
I think, people mistake you for being chubby because your cheeks/jaws are very prominent. And your body’s built + the usual silhouette of dresses/ensembles you wear gives the illusion that you’re chubby when in fact, you’re not.
Mine naman is baliktad, I always wear loose shirts and people would always tell me that I’m payatot when in fact, I’M NOT! I understand truly yung sinabi mo na you don’t wanna be praning about this, kasi nakakapraning talaga siya. I ended up eating too much kahit busog na ko just so I can gain weight. :/ Then I realized it’s not gonna help me because if I gain weight, they’d tell me naman na “ang taba taba mo!’ kahit hindi naman. I guess, when it comes to our weight we should be honest within ourselves and get to know our own body very well. I can’t say na wag makinig sa ibang tao totally because what if ang tingin mo sa sarili mo eh healthy yun pala hindi naman. Just be honest and always watch what you eat. Don’t deprive yourself, yung balanced lang. :)
Hi Saab! I’ve been an avid reader for 2 years now and this one is by far my favorite post from you:) What I like most is the part wherein you wrote: “I have to be honest, being called fat does NOT motivate me to go to the gym. It makes me want to eat Cheetos Jalapeño on the couch while wallowing in my fat depression.” This is soo truee!
I’ve been thin my whole life and these past few months, I gained some weight and people have been commenting on it and that I should start losing weight. It’s really disheartening because I don’t think I’m that fat. I find it rude when that’s the first thing people tell you. Soo I want to commend you for writing this and empowering all those who are being put down because of their weight. Thank you for letting us know that one should not strive to be skinny for other people’s sake but one should strive to be fit instead. Thank you for being a person to look up to. Keep it up!:) and yes, don’t mind all the others because you’ve got a fab face to go with your fab body and fab personality:)
You’re AMAZING Saab. The hell to the fat or fit.
Baka there’s something wrong sa eyesight ng mga nagsasabing chubby ka. You’re definitely sexy kaya!. I so love your curvy body. Love you Saab!
I believe I’m skinnier and taller than you, pero I sooo envy your body! You’re sexy and far from fat! :)
i jst dnt understand why there r still lots of people who would definitely love to destroy other’s confidence. way back in hi-skol ,i was teased (err even left-out) for being chubby. Young as i was , i let it get into me..I started to play soccer and has achieved d body every girl wants. But heck! friends suddenly called me “emaciated-barbie-wanna-be” ! and worse, they like my old figure! O_0 ..Oh well,(sorry for d long intro)jst wanna say ,haters(destroyers) are around because they know you are far better than them..and they can’t be you no matter what they do!!make them green with envy!~immabigfan***keep soaring!
hay nako.. honestly mukhang anorexic si kim chiu don sa pic na pinost mo..
susko..
baka pag bumalik ondoy liparin na siya..
nako.. saab.. your body is waaayy fiiinnee..
sexy mo kaya nooohhh… mga inggiterang palaka lang yang mga nagcocomment ng ganon..
ako din dito.. palagi yun ang pinapansin.. yung nagsasalita naman kala mo kung sinong
kaseksihan hindi naman HMPFT!
LOL!
thehell those people na nagsabing chubby ka.. baka may diperensya sa mata..
totally understand you. here’s to bursting their bubbles, cheers!
You are nowhere near fat. Some people are just so bored with their life. You look hot in your bikini! If I had your body I’d be happy already.
OMG. I SALUTE YOU SAAB! This motivates me even more!! Stay fit and don’t mind the hell others might say. I LOVE YOU!!!! :)
Very good post. I myself suffered criticisms like these. But not all people know that even if you discipline yourself with the food that you eat, exercise everyday, it is difficult for us (with thyroid and hormone) problems to lose weight.
For this, I love you!
don’t worry, we have the same body type. chui is underweight. i think your healthier than her.
wow. you actually look very toned and sexy in your “before” photo! my goodness, whoever told you you’re fat must be blind. if they think you’re fat, then i am already the biggest loser obese level na to them! see, that is what i don’t like about some people (and a lot of Filipinos are guilty of this), whenever they see you, either they say “tumaba ka!” or “pumayat ka!”. hindi ba pwedeng “hi, how are you?” muna? its always like that. and i find it really rude. its like the only thing they see in people is the physical aspect. so yeah, go on with what you’re doing, and don’t mind what they are saying. because you are definitely NOT fat / chubby. ;)
your so sexy kaya ikaw lang ang nagiisang crush ko!:))
